QIM will release a new version bundle the new feature of Double
pinyin. Does anyone need this feature and help me test it.

What is Double pinyin, please? I think I can guess, but I am not sure.

Double Pinyin is a shortcut to input pinyin. It use two characters to
represent a pinyin, one for initial(声母), one for final(韵母).
For example:
The pinyin of hanzi "黄" is "huang", you should type 5 characters
to input it. But in Double pinyin, you can only type "hg" to input
this hanzi.

I think it is useful to Chinese while they are familar with pinyin,
but not suitable for the foreigner.

In ABC/ITABC, the shortcuts are as follows:

Initials: ch=e; sh=v; zh=a
Finals (some keys produce different things depending on the initial): ai=l;
an=j; ang=h; ao=k; ei=q; en=f; eng=g; ia=d; ian=w; iang=t; iao=z; ie=x;
in=c; ing=y; iong=s; ong=s; ou=b; ua=d; uan=p; uang=t; ui=r

I'm not sure if that is the standard scheme. Glider's huang=hg example would
seem to indicate it is not.

Note also that this list was put together long ago. I don't think anyone has
checked it in recent years.

No, there is no standard schema for Double Pinyin.

The schema used by ITABC is a strange schema and can not be modified,
so many users complian it.
QIM's Double pinyin integrate four most used schemas and the user can
setup their own schema easily.
